With the introduction of the Puma Sky Low II, the low-top takes various cues from Puma's basketball original the Sky II which was the recent cause for inspiration on Bodega's Spy vs. Spy sneaker. With profile similar to its high-top big brother, much of the leather paneling is the same. The Sky Low II also manages to keep in touch with the original with the single velcro strap. The styles seen here include a patent leather toebox and white Formstripe. Available now at Shoe Planet and other Puma retailers.

Taking a theme literally and running with it is probably the best way to describe Atmos' latest sneaker collaboration with Puma. Three endangered species from the snowy wastelands of the Arctic and Antarctic are portrayed through the eyes of Puma's vintage model, the Clyde as well as a lesser seen model, Mid. The pack of animal-based sneakers grabs its inspiration largely from wildlife photographer Mitsuaki Iwago (of National Geographic) and photos accumulated over the years. The pack, aside from pushing the envelope for sneaker themes was created to bring awareness to the dire wildlife preservation situation. The three animals chosen as inspirations include the Harp Seal Clyde, Polar Bear Clyde and Macaroni Penguin Mid (frills seen around the ankle). Exclusive to Atmos, these will release on June 28th with price tags ranging from $125 USD to $150 USD.
